LIT Program
You don't want to miss this!
If you want to serve at camp this summer, meet new friends, and go a little deeper with God, you'll want to be here. It's an entire week of working and learning together, in an intimate and fun camp setting. You must be 16-18 years of age by December 31, 2010.
Here's a little of what to expect:
- Leadership Training - how to be a leader people will follow, through integrity (who you are as a leader) and influence (what you do as a leader)
- Camp Skills Training, such as how to lead Archery, Rock-Climbing, Challenge Course, and so on
- Personal Development, exploring issues about our own faith and how we can share it with others
- Counseling Skills - learning how to work well with various kinds of kids in a camp setting, through discussions and role-play
- Hands-on work with the kids at Spring Break-Out Camp, practicing the skills you're learning
- Lots of laughs and fun, as you meet people who want to learn and grow, just like you do
Camp Dates and Fees
Timberline's LIT Program is offered once each year, and the camp fee for the week is $174. This fee includes everything: meals, materials, events, training, a 2010 LIT shirt, and somewhere to sleep. The regular LIT program for 2010 is on:
- March 5-11 (Friday at 7:00pm until Thursday at 2:30pm)
We recognize that, due to the Olympics, some schools have changed their spring break schedule away from the dates set out by the BC Ministry of Education. For this reason, just for 2010, we are going to allow LITs who are affected by this to take the LIT program in two parts (two weekends) as follows:
- Part I: March 5-7 (Friday at 7:00pm until Sunday at 8:30pm)
- Part II: March 26-28 (Friday at 7:00pm until Sunday at 4:00pm)
Those taking the LIT Program in two parts will miss out on one or two sessions and will not get to be in a cabin with the campers during Spring Break-Out camp. However, they will have the opportunity to help out in the program at the Parents & Kids camp instead.
On the first night for each program, there will be an evening snack, but no dinner. The gates generally open just a few minutes prior to the camp starting, so that our staff and facilities can be ready.
Application
Because LITs work with children during their training, they are required to go through a screening process similar to what our staff go through. This involves completing the Staff Application Form, three Reference forms, a criminal record check, and an interview. Please mark "LIT" on your application form, and indicate whether you wish to do the program in 2 parts or 1. At this time, all forms must be printed out and either mailed or faxed; no online registration is available. The program fee must be mailed, and it will be returned in the event that a person is not accepted into the program.
We hope to see you here!
